does anyone knows how to do registry tweak to shorten the time in-between the keypress to speed up typing. i've used the smarttweaker to do this, but i don't see much different. it would be better if i can change the registry myself to my like.
no reply?
still no help?

As we can see - default timeout value around 10 sec. But i can't find how to disable it.
Anybody can help me?
Changing registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\KeylightTimeout (default val. 15000)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightDetectOn (default val. 1000)
HKLM\Services\Keypad\DisableKeyLight (default val. 0) has no effect for me.
Did you just change it, or also soft-reset?
Of course soft-reset.
O2 one doesn't come with a D-pad light. Maan I wanna kill someone...

Idots?
Another answer from HTC.
"I am very sorry for the delay. The answer to your question is you can adjust the backlight for the screen, but not the backlight for the keys. There is no update planned for this issue.
I hope this is an answer to your questions. "
I think - this is not true. You opinion?
say i go to Start > Programs and then i finger-flick to scroll down... the scrolling speed and scrolling duration are just out of whack. i flick and then wait like 5 seconds till it stops and even one normal flick is enough to go from first to the last icon on the page. if i want to scroll smaller distance, i intuitively do a slower flick but then biotouch ignores that gesture and next thing i know is i'm randomly opening programs.
i used to have htc-titan/ppc6800 with installed version of biotouch, and finger-flicking scrolled at the same speed but for much shorter time, like 1 to 2 seconds, which was much more desireable. the sensitivity also was more fine-tuned that even slower flicks were interpreted as scrolling gestures... the whole biotouch experience was much more snapper and was actually usable. now with touch pro i find myself preferring to use scrollbars to even scroll small distances...
i've tried quite a few customization tools including Advanced Config and none of them allowed me to fine-tune the scrolling duration and finger-flick speed sensitivity. does anybody know where these settings, and hopefully other settings, are located for biotouch? i just want to fine-tune them to be more "usable"...
Thanks!
half a day passed and the thread is already on the 5th page... dang things here evolve quickly!
so, anybody knows how to or where to tweak biotouch config?

Hi guys. I have recently been playing with my registry settings, making some changes in an attempt to keep my WIFI conncetion alive and or Keeping device from entering standbye. I have made note of some of my default settings; however, being tired and at my wits end, I forgot to take not of the default settings for two registry entries and made and saved the changes. Now My device keeps waking up on it's own to a blank screen. I am not sure which one of these it is but I know these are the only ones I didn't note the default values for so if anyone has these default values for me I would really appreciate it.
Needed Default values for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\CONTROL\POWER\STATE\UNATTENDED
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENT_CONTROL_SET\CONTROL\POWER\STATE\RESUMING
I Know I can hard reset the device, but this would be a big pain for me, so if anyone could take a quick look into their device registry and provide me with these default values, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks
Rod

have you tried Advanced Config 3.3?

Hi Ather90 - I have tried a previous version of the Advanced configeration tool and it did not work to keep my WIFI alive on my device - Reg settings or locations were not the same for my device, this is why I was playing with the registry myself. Could not find anything for the Elfin specific to keep the WIFI alive in all of my searching, so I was playing with it myself based on what I read about on other devices.
I will try Advance Config 3.3 however, still would like the factory default reg values I requested above unless you think that the Advance Config will set these values to the optimum value and solve my problem - I have been experiencing some significant increase in battery drainage as well and would like this solved. I understand that keeping wifi alive in standbye will increase battery consumption while wifi is alive, and that I would have to turn wifi off manually when I am done to conserve battery, this is not an issue for me as I do it anyway already all the time. Just want WIFI to stay alive when I want it to.
For now I want to reverse the changes I made to my registry back to default values. Then I can take not of the default values and play with Advance confic 3.3
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look up these values for me.
i suggest u to perform a hard reset, this will make sure every setting/registry becomes default.
I got it now so that the display does not turn on on it's own now - Not sure how battery issue will be now - I am assuming it was related to the display lighting up on it's own - so all should be good. I would still appreciate it if someone could look into the two registry settings I requested above, so that I can compare them. I only want to perform a hard reset as a last resort right now and I don't think that it is necessary.
OK, I don't think that battery consumption is a problem now - Left my device on standby overnight (was fully charged) and this morning, battery was at 99% still. Usage drainage appears normal so far as well.
Please, I would still like to know what the default registry values I requested above are - just to see if I have them the same now, to see what I have done.

My Registry Entries
Hi
My Registry entries under these two keys are attached in the .zip file. Device details as per my signature. I disabled turning off Wifi in sleep mode using Advanced Config.

Thank you so much andrew-in-woking - This information was very useful - I had been playing with the values of these keys until I found a combination that seemed best and as it happens, the values are the same as yours - Thanks - I just wanted confirmation and reassurance that I had set the values back to default setting which I must have gotten lucky and managed to do. But I never would have known without something to compare it to.
Thanks again

I have an LG Optimus 7, its a great phone but the battery on it seriously sucks. I lowered the backlight, turned off bluetooth, wifi etc but I can barely get through the day of usage.
My phone is unlocked and I have access to the registry, I want to lower the backlight further beyond what the control panel will let me do. Does anyone know the registry key for the backlight?
I found:
HKEY_CURRENT\CONTROLPANEL\BACKLIGHT
The value is currently set to 1099958376
However before I change it I would like to know what the value represents so I don't mistakenly set the phone backlight to 0.
Thanks
"HKEY_CURRENT\CONTROLPANEL\BACKLIGHT" is a directory, not a value. You shouldn't edit it directly.
But anyway, don't bother with the registry. I've modified every single key that seemed minimally related to brightness, with no success. This seems to me like a driver/firmware issue. Although I would be happy to be proven wrong...
(And by the way, allow me to redirect you to this thread. It wouldn't hurt to complain about it... )
That is too bad
If anyone has an answer to this please help.
Dear guys and gals,
Found a key for touch prediction that when edited showed a marked improvement in keyboard responsiveness and small item manipulation ie classic desktop, file explorer, etc.
The key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TouchPrediction
Edit key for latency from 8 to 2.
Edit sample time from 8 to 2
Restart
See attached for a edited registry key to inject. Tested on two surfaces with no ill effects.
edit: to answer a few questions: this increases performance on all touch aspects of the device
The most likely ill effect would be a decrease in battery life as the system must poll the touchscreen more often... just be aware. Otherwise, cool find.
Keyboard does seem faster... Does this also affect swiping? it seems like I can swipe in any way and get the full length of the page / app in one swipe?
Haven't noted in marked increase in battery consumption but I will monitor.
Could this improve the home key button, when my surface is on standby it takes about 6 taps to get the surface to wake up.
possibly, I have not tested the mod for that per say,

I also have not noticed an increase in battery usage on my asus vivo tab. Not a surface, but rt.
What would decreasing the values to 1 due? I am assuming the lower the value, the better. Or did it not test well on Surface?
Originally I choose 2 to test the battery draw. However, now that I haven't seen any significant increase in battery usage the drop to 1 can be done.

Is it that easy for all the values? In other words, can all of the registry values be set to 1 to improve performance? Or are all the values a certain number for a reason? Cuz if latency of 1 works better than the original 8, idk why Microsoft would put it at 8 in the first place. Sorry for all the questions. This stuff is interesting to me!
First off all any values are "safe values". Some screens might be of worse quality then others (different manufacturers of parts). Having that value setup to happy medium means all screens act the same. You lower the value you demand that screen reads the inputs faster and more often. Might not be a good idea on some devices.
Not only talking about surface. Remember win8 (especially pro) will go on many different devices.
Also if you set sampling and refresh to low it might start having ghost touches from minimum input that would normally not be visible (oversensitive).
Best to practice and find perfect for you and your device.

How about the other regs that don't really have a highest/lowest rate? For example, Disable Hotmail is defaulted at 2. What would changing that to 1 do?

No there is no general rule where lower value is better. Some of the values displayed are "face values" where 2 is 2 like refresh 2 times a second. Some times 2 and 1 have a meaning off or on (like your hotmail). Remember PC reads numbers. Even more sometimes numbers, text or mix you see like 8 or 4 are actually representations of some kind of code for example hex or binary.
If you do not know what the number represents then changing it is a guess and nothing more. Just have a backup copy as fiddling in registry with drivers can have funny side effects. I did make my hd7 think i am touching it everywhere all the time so it hang seconds after boot
Are we sure this does anything at all? In order to test if the differences were psychological, I set the number to a ridiculously high value and it didn't seem to behave any differently.
Yup I found noticeable differences in fine touch control including in the registry,window control, etc.

Thanks a lot!
Is 2 a good value in the case of the surface PRO 1 ?
"touch prediction" did prediction, not pooling!
"Latency" = how much milisecond to look ahead
"SampleTime" = the period in milisecond to average your finger's motion
The effect is thus:
Larger "latency" make the pointer overshoot, smaller "latency" make the pointer lag behind (1 - 100 milisecond depending on your system performance).
There's no penalty on your tablet's battery or digitizer's life for turning TouchPrediction off, and you don't need to restart to see the effect. (try finger drawing in MS Paint to see effect)
If your Surface missed touch, then try to cool the back of your tablet. It might be thermal throttling.
